So here I am at my first post. I created this blog a week ago but haven't posted yet because of this introduction. It was always stressed to me that the introduction was the most crucial part of a composition. If your introduction did not capture your audience, no matter how eloquent the rest was, there would be no one to read it. So I stressed and stressed about my winning introduction and it kept me from typing a single word. So here it is - my introduction about introductions. Not terribly captivating, I admit, but hopefully I am not the only one who strives for perfection only to settle for the limitations of my own less-than-creative mind.
The main reason I (well, actually my dear friend, Dar) created this post was to document my family's progress on our adoption of a little girl from China. We have 2 boys, 2 1/2 and 5, whom we adore more than I could ever express. But, if you are a mom, you know...
We thought our family was complete until God revealed that He had a different plan for us. I don't think that in all my life I have ever heard a call from God so clearly. I had longed to hear some message from the Most High since I devoted myself to Him. However, in my typical state of self-unimportance, I thought I didn't matter enough for Him to call me. So, here I am, called. I am not sure that it helped with my feelings of importance or not, but it definitely has given me a purpose and a profound joy that could only be attributed to Him.
Our little girl is 10 months old right now and I will miss her 1st birthday since we will not get her for 4 - 6 months. But, she is beautiful and loved as much as my boys are already. I will try to post on our family's progress as more evolves. And I am going to try to cut myslef some slack when it comes to the format of the post. After all, I doubt anyone would want to read on after that lame introduction....
Until next time...
